Monday Medicinal Marijuana Meditation
So(u)lstice: Because you canât spell âSo(u)lsticeâ without U!
As the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere gives us a longer playdate with the sun, letâs take this meditative moment to look up to the superstar of our galaxy for inspiration. How can we shine brighter? Burn hotter? Make people sweat, or even tan?
Like our fave Soulstice trainer Abbi, letâs make like the sun and stay outside.
Super baked, like an edible (or several)
Apply sunscreen onto exposed skin
Clear your plans for the rest of the day
Keep your smartphone handy because you already were going to anyway
Go outside. Find a place like a park or waterfront or rooftop or backyard where you can loiter comfortably for some time. If you get lost, thatâs cool too. You are exactly where you need to be.
Get comfy. But not too comfy that you get kicked out of wherever you are.
Take your first deep breath over five seconds. Pause for two seconds. Exhale for five seconds.
Take your second deep breath over five seconds. Pause for two seconds. Exhale for five seconds.
Take your third deep breath over five seconds. Pause for two seconds. Exhale for five seconds.
Let your breath return to its regular flow.
Meditation Activity: Sunny Snapshot Scavenger Search
Mr. Sun I luh u cuz u hit me with the D
Vitamins feedinâ my bod so naturally
The sun gifts us with much without asking for anything in return. Letâs give mad props for how it brightens our lives.
Over the course of the long solstice daylight, snap some shots with your smartphone:
Find a really cool blade of grass. Take a picture or few.
Whatâs the sky doing? Find some clouds to take pics of.
Wait for a puppy to walk up to you. Take a picture of pupâs paw. Bonus: Smell it! Does it smell like popcorn???
Try to make a shadow puppet. Try to take a pic of it with your free hand.
Look for flowers. Take pics of at least 3 different types of flower.
Thereâs probably an ant hill near you. Take a closeup beauty shot of the hottest ant.
Find a tree. Can you climb it? Anyway, hug the tree with one arm and then take a #selfie
Take a photo of your hand against a backdrop of something cool around you. How weird are hands, amirite?
Find a stick. Take 3 pictures of it. #stickpics
Meet 3 new people. Ask each of them to take 3 different pics of you with the rock of your choice. #naturerocks
If you start to feel sunburny or you get kicked out for loitering at the school yard or your phoneâs about to die because those batteries only last an hour amirite, or itâs dark now- take a moment to figure out how to get home.
Take your fourth deep breath over five seconds. Pause for two seconds. Exhale for five seconds.
Take your fifth deep breath over five seconds. Pause for two seconds. Exhale for five seconds.
Post all those photos on social media to share how simply the sun brightens your day.
Optional: Forget to post stuff until a few days later and try to remember wtf did you do with that hot ant?!??!
